Summary/Abstract: Darwin′s logic of natural selection which gives a basis for all evolutionary explanations was taken as a heuristically fertile frame for the study of society and it’s subgroups, kinship and family. Focus of this kind of approach to the study without exception includes biological–behavioral parameters, caused by a genetic view of the nature of human beings themselves. Precisely this kind of approach is a characteristic of newer evolutionary ideas which have changed understanding of the family and which can be best understood within a sociobiological framework of study. Sociobiological explanation offers two key principles for understanding of the biological dimension of the families – the principle of inclusive fitness and biological (reciprocal) altruism. Indicated principles have generated several theories which explain specific aspects of the family system.
